Each  time on  my leaving home
 I run  back to  my mother's arms,
One  last hold  and then  it's over.
 Watching me, you know I cry,
 You wave a kiss to say goodbye,
 Feel the sky fall down upon me!
All  I am,  a child  with promises
All  I have,  are miles  full of promises  of home.
 If only I could stay with you,
 My train moves on, you're gone from view,
 Now I must wait until it's over.
 Days will pass, your words to me,
 It seems so long; eternity,
 But I must wait until it's over.
